I shudder with fright

As the shadows lurk and dance in the moonlight

A sacred tear

A fragile fear

As the shadows encroach

And I cover my ears to block out their echoing reproach

They drag me down into roaring waves of agony

As if I were the subject of their ecological anthropology

And there's no saving me
